    Hello fellas. Does anyone have experience/ info on enlarging the lifter bores to fit Chrysler lifters? What tool/ tools did you use and any pictures would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks,
    Hance

  8. Hance,
    Have done this with a reamer and a Bridgeport mill
    There are two sizes, ream with either .625 or .633
    Do not run the smaller lifter in the larger bore, had one come in that way, a mess.

    Checking in for December, January and February.
    December Flabob Airport Drags was a blast & January Flaming Gorge Resort Snow Rally was too. Flabob Airport was a great venue, not sure I will make the April meet with my car yet.

    Checking in.

    not much news from me - I took the coupe on the River City coupe and Roadster Club Reliability Run this past weekend. 100 mile run after a 40 minute drive to get there in temperatures approaching 90-95 degrees F.

    The coupe performed flawlessly

    Yes,
    I communicated with him late last year, to see what was up with him. He had a job duty change which has been more challenging for him and he has taken on a model train layout in his spare time. He is good, life priorities has just taken a shift in direction. I miss his interactions too
    Thinking he is probably freezing his butt off in Cheyanne at the moment as well....

    Hey Brian, H&H is going to whip up a super touring banger block with a Dan Price head for me and hopefully I’ll be ready to roll by the time the snow melts here in Maine.

    That will be really nice. I’m sure you can’t get it soon enough.

    What a cool Engine! what is the bottom end like? 3 or 5 main? Looks similar to am A/B?



    My boss has a full HAL that he has set aside for a vintage road/race car, but it needs a full rebuild. I'll try & get a pic next week.

  29. This is a full HAL motor, 5 mains and billet crank.
    This one is 4.25 stroke, I think there is enough room to go 4.7 stroke.
    I am looking for one of the Indy versions, 255 or 270 cid.

    John
